Hello from design team member, Heidi!  I have a pretty pansy card to share with you, which is right in season!  I love these cheerful flowers for Spring and Fall, and all the wonderful colors they might be.

This image was stamped in a dark purple ink onto some textured cardstock.  Now, textured card is not usually the best surface for stamping, but I knew I wanted to color this with chalks, and I like the extra interest it gives.  Chalk is a wonderful coloring medium, it blends so well and is very fast to work with.  It might be a good idea to seal your work when you use chalk.  Since this is a card that will likely be displayed for just a few weeks, I just seal mine with a little aerosol hairspray.  

I thought these colors looked a little vintage, so I decorated my card with some velvet rick rack and scraps of pretty floral paper.

The stamp I used is called Three Pansies and can be found in the I Brake for Stamps Online store.

Have a wonderful day!

Heidi

I'm not sure if I colored these flowers correctly.  I'm thinking they're blue bells but I'm not sure. If they're not we're just going to call it artistic license! We have a butterfly in N.Y. called the Karner Blue. These butterflies don't really look like them but I chose blue to go with the flowers.

Hello from design team member, Heidi!  Today, I would like to share an Easter card.  

I colored the bunny image with some earthy tones, and cut it out with an oval die.  I paired this with patterned papers from several different packs.  I thought this was a lovely look for Easter, even if it isn’t the traditional pastel colors. 

This stamp is called Wild Bunny and can be purchased in the I Brake for Stamps online store.  They also carry a large number of other rabbit images.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
